Answer:

  1050 g < weight ≤ 1150 g

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the weight of the package in grams. The the number of 100-gram increments after the first 250 grams is given by ...

  ⌈(w-250)/100⌉ . . . . . . . where ⌈ ⌉ signifies the <em>ceiling</em> function

and the charges for a package exceeding 250 grams will be ...

  0.65 + 0.10⌈(w -250)/100⌉ = 1.55

  0.10⌈(w -250)/100⌉ = 0.90 . . . . . . . . subtract 0.65

  ⌈(w -250)/100⌉ = 9 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.10

  8 < (w-250)/100 ≤ 9 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . meaning of ceiling function

  800 < w -250 ≤ 900 . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 100

  1050 < w ≤ 1150 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 250

The weight in grams could be greater than 1050 and at most 1150 for a charge of $1.55.

Rashid [163]

Answer:

7,500 Pages

Step-by-step explanation:

So this printer can prink 25 pages in 1 (x) minute.

There are 60 minutes in an hour and we are waiting 5 hours, so 5x60 = 300 minutes.

Then you take the 300 and plug it in for x because that is how many minutes we are waiting for.  Now your equation should look like this:

p(x) = 25(300)

Next you multiply 25 x 300 and you get 7,500 pieces of paper
